SIST EN 14516:2006+A1:2010
EN 14516:2006+A1:2010 (E) 8 The load shall equate to the volume of water with an accuracy of 250+ kg, if 25 kg bags are used, or 12,50+ kg, if 12,5 kg bags are used, when the bath is filled to the overflow. If no overflow is provided the volume to the overspill level shall be used. The volume can be determined by measurement, or values declared in the manufacturer’s literature can be used. 8.1.3 Procedure Install the bath in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions. Position the bags to simulate the mass of water that can be contained along the bottom of the bath as shown in Figure 1. Position the adequate number of bags for each user that can use the bath at the same time in separate piles, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 — Load application (for each user) Leave the total load for 10 10+ min. Without moving the bags representing the mass of water that can be contained, move the pile(s) of bags representing a user(s) to a different position(s) along the bottom of the bath and leave again for 10 10+min. When a bath has a clearly indicated position for a user to stand or to sit, e.g. a slip resistant feature or a seating area, carry out one loading test with a pile of bags representing a user, at the approximate centre of any such feature. On completion of the tests remove all the bags. After 10 10+ min verify that the bath complies with !5.3.2" by pouring copious amounts of water coloured in contrast with the colour of the bath around all the inner surface of the sides of the bathing area. 8.2 Resistance to chemicals and staining agents
8.2.1 Principle The test is intended to give an indication of the effect of commonly used household chemicals and cleansing agents. 8.2.2 Test apparatus and chemicals a) chemicals and staining agents A list of chemicals and staining agents to be used is specified in Table 1.

Cover the drop with a watch glass concave face downwards. The drop size shall be such that it is completely covered by the watch glass. Leave for (120 ± 5) min with the test area protected from sunlight. Thoroughly rinse the test areas with deionised water and visually check for any adverse change in appearance. If any deterioration is noticed, dip the foam disc in deionised water and place it on the surface that was tested. Rotate the cleaning device at a speed of 60 min-1. Clean for 30 revolutions.
